Vezelay Basilica
$22.00
The basilica sits on a long ridge above the village of Vézelay, a hill that drew pilgrims for weeks of walking through Burgundy. Inside, the nave is one of the great Romanesque rooms in Europe. At noon on the summer solstice, sunlight falls through the upper windows in a straight line of pools down the centre aisle, a geometry the twelfth-century masons knew how to set. The tympanum over the inner door, Christ sending out the apostles, has been studied for nearly nine hundred years. People still arrive on foot, with shells on their packs.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
